[Teams] Man Utd vs Arsenal: Mavropanos & Nelson start
Arsenal have both eyes on Thursday’s Europa League semi-final as we take on Manchester United at Old Trafford this afternoon.
As predicted, Arsene Wenger has rested his key men ahead of the Atletico Madrid game with Konstantinos Mavropanos handed his debut in defence alongside Calum Chambers.
Sead Kolasinac, Ainsley Maitland-Niles, Alex Iwobi and Reiss Nelson also start while Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang leads the line up front. Henrikh Mkhitaryan returns after recovering from a knee injury.
I’m a little disappointed Hector Bellerin and Granit Xhaka have been risked while it’s interesting that David Ospina starts in goal ahead of Petr Cech.
Here are the line-ups:
Man Utd
De Gea, Valencia, Young, Smalling, Lindelof, Matic, Pogba, Herrera, Lingard, Sanchez, Lukaku.
Subs: Pereira, Rojo, Fellaini, Mata, McTominay, Martial, Rashford
Arsenal
Ospina; Bellerin, Chambers, Mavropanos, Kolasinac; Xhaka, Maitland-Niles, Iwobi; Nelson, Mkhitaryan; Aubameyang
Subs: Cech, Holding, Monreal, Osei-Tutu, Willock, Welbeck, Nketiah
